That's correct. There are no restrictions from sharing opinions.

If you abuse the authority and use your power (ha!) to control the conversation, then that is way out of bounds....


And then there's this guy:

Any source for that? Everything I've heard is "about a year from now." (why is the next bid always the big bid and hiring always next year?)

A Project Ignite pilot team member was told that at a recent meeting.

I could believe this with mil leave people coming back. Maybe when I get moved to the 717 I'll be a line holder.

What prevents someone from banking time in December and cashing it out in January, after our 8.5% pay bump kicks in? For example, if I were to bank 30 hours and cash it out the following month, I'd have made an extra $300 just by deferring my pay for a month; or do I misunderstand the way this works? If it was that easy, wouldn't everyone do it or am I the last one to NOT do it?

You can do it - it's just only credit above 80 hours in a month is allowed to be banked. So you'd have to credit over 80 hours to get it. Vacation, training, GS are pay (or double pay), no credit so they don't count.

Senior folks might be able to do it but otherwise it's a bit hard.

I think the most you can put into your positive bank is 5 hours per month...unless that's been changed in one of the last T/A's, which it may have, but back in the day, all you could deposit was 5.

Ever since we've been using PBS, I've been in negative bank land, so I'm not too sure what the max pos. deposit is anymore.

We have Mil Leaves returning, so we really do have new hires, yeah. They may be senior to you, and we didn't mention them during the TA roadshows but they are new hires, yeah, that's the ticket....

Can you refresh me on what Project Ignite is?

None of the LCPs reported any mention of hiring in the meeting... in fact the subject seemed to be actively avoided by the higher ups.

I think it's a after school hip hop special.
